Weathering or
Erosion. The weather is the set of all extant
phenomena in a given
atmosphere at a given
time. The term usually refers to the activity of these phenomena over short periods (hours or days), as opposed to the term
climate, which refers to the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather of
Earth.
